JT-NM TR-1001-1 gives broadcasters an owner’s manual for SMPTE ST 2110-based installations, writes Mike Cronk, AIMS board chairman and core technology VP for Grass Valley, a Belden Brand
“When I received a call about having IP Showcase at METexpo, I realised it was a great opportunity – though with a relatively short timeline to plan and implement, we also had a few challenges. The IP Showcase had not been in this region before. Could we get speakers? Could we get demo kit? Both are obligatory to provide an appropriate showcase such as the ones that have been successful at IBC and NAB over the past three years.” – Stan Moote, CTO, IABM

InfoComm 2019 is almost here, and AIMS is ready! As our first appearance at InfoComm, this year’s show is the AIMS introduction to the pro AV community. Key messages: AV over IP is REAL. It has the gamut of features that pro AV professionals need, and it’s based on a set of standards (SMPTE ST 2110) that has already been widely adopted by the broadcast community.

It has the gamut of features that pro AV professionals need, and it’s based on a set of standards (SMPTE ST 2110) that has already been widely adopted by the broadcast community.
Here are the AIMS highlights of InfoComm 2019:
- AIMS members have built two demos of AV-over-IP interoperability using real-world technology solutions based on the SMPTE ST 2110 standards suite. Stop by Booth 375 and we’ll show you that the future of AV over IP is here, using equipment you can buy today!
- We’ll have available a brand-new positioning paper, “AV Over IP: It’s Real, and It’s Transformational.” The paper takes a closer look at the impact of the media-over-IP movement on the pro AV and installed systems markets.
- In the AIMS Theatre in Booth 375, AIMS members will deliver three days of educational presentations on the subject of adopting open standards for AV over IP. Check out the schedule at https://aimsalliance.org/theater-presentations-infocomm-2019/. Also, AIMS members will participate in the session “Audio and Video Streaming Using Established IP Standards” on Tuesday, June 11.
See you at InfoComm 2019!
The Australia Section of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers® (SMPTE®), the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), and the IABM have announced that they will stage an IP Showcase for the first time in Australia in conjunction with Media + Entertainment Tech Expo (METExpo 2019) in Sydney, 17-19 July.
The Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) released a new positioning paper titled “AV Over IP: It’s Real, and It’s Transformational.” The paper takes a closer look at the impact of the media-over-IP movement on the pro AV and installed systems markets. A key focus is AIMS’ efforts to promote a single set of common, ubiquitous protocols for interoperability over IP in the pro AV industry, based on the SMPTE ST 2110 standards suite for video, audio, and data transport.
The publication of the first standards in the SMPTE ST 2110 suite was widely hailed as a milestone in the adoption of IP-based media networking. But, although important, it is only one dimension of a standards odyssey that still has a lot of distance to cover, writes David Davies.
Next-gen IP facilities will see a significant shift from copper-based cabling (coax with BNCs and structured-cabling with 8P8C connectors) to optical fiber media. Expect a near total elimination of video patch panels and a major shift in design documentation. Coaxial cable in all IP-network-based designs may be reduced by as much as 90-95%. Other copper cabling will be limited to individual transition devices (e.g., gateways to/from SDI), system management (sub-1 gigabit) and AES67 audio. Coax and STP-cables will likely stay isolated as jumpers between devices and patch panels, but those hundreds of high density BNC connectors for unidirectional signals on coax will all but be eliminated.
